The Parson Cummings Cabin is located in Abingdon’s Sinking Spring Cemetery across from the Valley Street intersection with Russell Road. Most people will find it within easy walking distance from the historic downtown area.
The Virginia Creeper Trail
The Virginia Creeper Trail begins in Abingdon and extends 34.5 miles on an abandoned railroad bed to Whitetop Station near the North Carolina Border.
The “Creeper Trail” is famous far and wide as a favorite for hiking, bicycling, and horse riding. Bring your own bike or rent one for a day at one of several local bike shops. You can ride a shuttle to the far end of the trail at Whitetop Station and then ride your bike back to either Abingdon or Damascus, with much of the ride being downhill!
The Virginia Creeper Trail begins just a few blocks from Main Street on Green Springs Road. Just look for the majestic Steam Engine parked beside the trail head.
